APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Jo Nesbo’s beloved detective Harry Hole makes his debut here, though The Bat was one of the later books in the series to receive an English translation. Dispatched from Oslo to Australia after the murder of a famous young Norwegian woman there, Harry navigates Sydney’s assorted subcultures and his own weakness for alcohol while pursuing what could be a serial killer. Guided through the foreign backdrop by a local ally, the flawed but stubbornly driven hero confronts increasingly dangerous twists and turns. The gravity and empathy of Sean Barrett’s narration helps set the stage for a classic character of Nordic noir.
